Not content just to announce the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 and no less than three new The Witcher titles, CD PROJEKT has also confirmed that work has begun on a brand-new, original IP, currently codenamed “Hadar”.
Hadar is a codename for a third, entirely distinct IP, created from scratch within CDPR. The project is in the earliest stages of the creative process, which means we are not developing any game yet, but working exclusively on the foundation for this new setting. pic.twitter.com/1LdoXSTniv

In a strategy update posted overnight the publisher says that the project is in the very early stages at its core studio, CD PROJEKT RED, with actual game development not yet underway – so it’s likely going to be a while before we see or hear anything else about this project.
We started toying with the idea several years ago. Early-stage conceptual work commenced in 2021, and – for the first time in our history – the IP is being incubated entirely within CD PROJEKT RED. It is important to understand that right now we are still working on basic concepts and laying the groundwork for this new franchise – says Micha? Nowakowski, CDPR Board Member responsible for business development.
